SAL Podcast, Episode 1: Apostolic Dating and its Discontents


We at Stuff Apostolics Like have been in a mood lately. Like all drama all the time. Dead eyed and serious. Trade the t-shirt for the tie and think about the meaning of life and stuff. We even did some deep soul searching of the blog itself and gazed into it's very depths and found a glaring void in the precise space one would expect to find a soul. 

And so we at SAL set out to create a shiny podcast to fill in that soulless void.

And  lo, on the tenth of February in the precious Year of Our Lord 2014, Logan T. Miles and I forged the first Stuff Apostolics Like podcast episode which you can find below. There you will find Logan and I reminiscing about the joys and pangs of dating within the Apostolic realm, musings on online dating, a discursive analysis of David's methods of seduction, and a debate surrounding the merits of Game of Thrones.

  2. long time reader, love the show. would love to hear a woman speaking on growing up in the apostolic experience if you explore similar topics in future podcasts (assuming you know any women).

  3. Sounds like a great idea. Consider this an open casting call to any ladies who feel up to the challenge. Send me an e-mail: joelrile@gmail.com. Or tweet

  5. "assuming you know any women". dying. Great show, guys. Hilarious and relevant. It also brings a little more context to the personality/tone you're using when you write each blog. Looking forward to the next edition.

  6. Stop promoting twitter. Don't pick your future female contributor from anyone who tweets you. We don't want to hear that girl's opinion.

  7. I came across this blog a few months back and like someone said on the previous post, just helps me know I'm not so crazy for having doubts and questions. I have always gone to an apostolic church but was always that outsider. My dating experiences have been very few because there seems to be such limit options for someone like me who does cut her hair and wear pants. Opposite of most girls, if a guy wants to be a preacher/evangelist/missionary I will not date them. I thought about online dating, but am not ready to go there just yet only being 23 years old. I am curious to know that if you guys are no longer really in the apostolic scene, what type of church do you participate in now? I have never left the UPC because I felt I could not find another organization worthy enough to make me switch. And can the next podcast please not be so long? lol

    1. Hey Erica, yeah we are trying to keep them to 30-45min, but first time we rambled waaay to much, we could have split this into 2 or 3 separate ones. I'm sure Joel and myself both have more stories.

      My church left the apostolic scene and it's pretty much a non denominational church now. Once I left the apostolic scene, I found myself much more compatible with a diverse range of churches.

      When it comes to online dating......you'll never know unless you try it.
